The French Quarter Stabber: Warren Harris Jr

In this gripping episode of "Bloody Angola," Jim Chapman delves into the case of Warren Harris Jr., infamously dubbed the French Quarter Stabber. Set against the backdrop of New Orleans in 1977. Convicted of the killing of (3) victims, found murdered in their apartments, this serial killer was sentenced to life without parole at the age of 16, but….would he stay inside Angola?
